Results and Conclusions


The ARM processor was designed and tested on  the  FPGA  advantage  V5.0  of
Mentor Graphics corporation with success. The processor is able to  reach  a
speed of over 8MHz while remaining stable. The processor can serve not  only
the ordinary interrupts but the  fast  interrupts  too.  The  processor  was
designed to be compatible with the ARM series of microprocessors.

Future Extensions:

Implementing the design in Xillinx Virtex-II FPGA and test it.
Optimizing the implementation in order to increase its speed and decrease
the power consumption by decreasing the number of gates.
Adding virtual memory support.
Development of a full cache memory microprocessor.
Development of a piplined design and implement it.
